Traveling with your pet during a heatwave: Smart tips for your summer trip

Summer is here, and with it, soaring temperatures. While summer trips can be dreamy, they can quickly become risky for our four-legged friends. Traveling with your pet during a heatwave isn’t mission impossible provided you plan smartly.

At PetSerenity Paris, we believe quality travel includes pet well-being. Below are essential tips to help you enjoy your holidays without compromising on comfort or safety.

🧳 Before you go: anticipate

• Choose a cooler destination (seaside, mountains); avoid sweltering cities.

• Travel early morning or late evening to evade peak heat.

• Schedule breaks every two hours for hydration and shade.

🚗 On the road: prioritize comfort and safety

• Always use air conditioning; install sunshades if needed.

• Never leave your pet alone in the car temperatures can exceed 50 °C in minutes.

• Must‑have items: cooling mat, travel bowl, portable mister.

🏖️ At your destination: select pet‑friendly accommodations

We only recommend pet‑friendly hotels with AC, green spaces, and nearby vet services. Some premium places offer dog room-service or private dog pools.

🐶 Warning signs to watch for:

Watch out for:

• Rapid or heavy panting

• Vomiting or unsteady walking

• Bright red tongue these are signs of heatstroke, a veterinary emergency.

If in doubt, contact a local vet immediately (we maintain a vetted list of partners at each destination).

🧊 PetSerenity Paris tip

We always recommend traveling with a personalized canine first-aid kit (compresses, thermometer, saline, etc.) we can prepare one for you before departure.

We can also deliver a premium cooling accessories kit directly to your accommodation.

🌍 Because traveling with your pet means caring for them too

Heat is no obstacle when you’re well-prepared. Giving them the care you’d give to yourself that’s the real luxury of traveling together.
